Above-ground pools in Anderson need the same Swimming Pool and Spa Permit as in-ground pools. Access may be restricted by a retractable locking ladder, and the pool must sit in a side or rear yard behind a fence at least five feet high.
Anderson does not exempt above-ground pools. The city's permit application specifically lists a "Retractable Locking Ladder (Above Ground)" as an accepted access-restriction method, in addition to a 5-foot minimum fence or wall. Pools must be placed in a required side or rear yard and comply with the distance-from-lot-line and rear-yard-area fields on the application. The Indiana Residential Code supplies barrier details where the pool wall or ladder serves as the barrier.
An above-ground pool installed without a permit or without an approved retractable ladder or fence is a zoning/building violation subject to correction by Code Enforcement.
